This is our new girl we found on Criag's List. She is a '98 normal. We love her!
This pretty girl came from a home where she had been seriously neglected and mistreated. I'll give you the short version...
While she's in QT, I wanted to clean her 55 gallon tank that also came with the deal. I found the bedding matted to the news paper liner on the bottom by urine. The bedding also had old feces in it. They told us that they had ran out of aspen and hadn't had a chance to buy anymore.
This next pic is of the bottom from the inside. This think is nasty!!! We have no idea what this white residue is.
The black thing on the bottom of the tank is what's left of the UTH. You're probably wondering why I'm peeling off the UTH. Well, because it didn't work!!! The previous owners didn't tell us it didn't work, because they probably didn't know.
Here is some of that residue I mentioned. I scraped this off of the inside wall of the tank.
Here is a pic of the bottom side of the tank. Nasty!!!
Her previous owners also fed her in her enclosure. They would drop in a rat and if she didn't eat it, they would just leave it in there until she did. How long do you think it took the rat to chew this hole in her hide?
Sorry guys. I just needed to rant a little. Now I have to get back to cleaning her enclosure.
